| Jan 24, 2017 at 12:41 | comment | added | CptEric | There is an electoral college organization that makes sure that the parties are democratic, and they choose how to interpret the constitution, hence, if a party is found to be a two-person tandem closed to anybody else, they could illegalize it. A party still has it's right to say "no" to a new member. Parties must work, althought, as associations, and that requires atleast 4 members, ( President, Vicepresident, treasurer,Secretary), who must be elected. | |

Articles 6, 7 and 8 expand on that.

I can't also find requirements about minimum number of members. | |
